Whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call from DMSMS alert

Situation

In a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround, DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is the evidence after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. Vendor-base mapper has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using DMSMS alert vs. current stock position.

Decision

Vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Fund and move materiel now; DMSMS alert vs. current stock position already has the discriminator after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.
• Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is completed after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x for vendor-base mapper.
• Treat DMSMS alert vs. current stock position as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.
• Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: vendor-base mapper does not have the page cost history can support turns on in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position.

Analysis required

• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position.
• Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read DMSMS alert vs. current stock position against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for vendor-base mapper.

Recommendation

Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x). If DMSMS alert vs. current stock position cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent pages a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround does not have.
